CH 9

I heard everything, but as an educated person, I tried to pretend I didn’t know. The butler raised his head and asked me.

“Do you have any ID cards?”

“Yes, of course.”

I handed him the identity card that I had hidden in my arms. The butler’s face brightened after he roughly wiped his identity card stained with mud with a handkerchief.

“It must be your permanent residents. You can hire me right away.”

“However…”

Cesare looked at me and acted as if it were terrifying. He seemed to be offended by the fact that I talked about the early night area in the beginning. But I had no intention of kicking the fortune that had been rolled over.

“Thank you! I will do my best!”

In my words, Cesare gave an absurd look on her face. The butler and I were looking at Cesare at the same time passionately. It was Cesare who raised the white flag in a 2-1 situation.

“It’s a one-week temporary job. You have to go back when you’re done.”

“Yes, thank you! I don’t have a house, so can I have room and eat here ?”

“Possible. Alon, give her a room.” ,

“Yes, Lord.”

“Thank you! If so, can I use the washroom ? As you can see, this is what I look like….”

Cesare, who was staring at me, frowned bitterly, as if taking a bitter pill.

“A place with a bathroom.”

…

I woke up before the morning star rose. I turned around to see the dim light coming from the window illuminating the object whitishly. There was an unfamiliar sound of the wind between the dusty bed linen and the missing toothed bathroom window. I hugged the blanket tightly and looked around, cringing.

Oh, I was successful in entering yesterday.

I remember rinsing my body with lukewarm water in the bathroom last night. It was a much smaller and ugly room than the room I was given when I was at Liam’s house, but it was incomparably more satisfying. I stretched out like a cat and got up from my seat.

It was a week-long probation that she had earned with all her might. I needed to successfully solve this trial period.

My goal was to like Cesare for a week. either in body or in mind. Since then, it has been my ultimate goal to stay stuck here and be protected from the lame, or to go to the capital with Cesare’s help when Cesare’s lust for me has cooled. It didn’t seem like he would not  give a single carriage to the capital, no matter how much his sexual desire had cooled.

It wasn’t that I didn’t have a dream of a love marriage, but it was better to become another man’s concubine than to marry the enemy of my parents.

After washing my face thoroughly, I touched the clothes I had washed yesterday. Her clothes were still damp.
